IT is all well enough to hold officials
to strict account and to investigate
their conduct and discharge them
when there is ground for 1t. But
sometimes false charges are preferred,
generally of disgraceful nature, and
an expensive investigation is required
to disprove them. This seems to be
so in the case of the superintendent
of the insane asylum at Austin. Par
ties who preferred the charges should
bo indicted for perjury.

THE OLD GRIST MILL

BY Willow Brook. beneath the hill.
Stands quaint and gray the old grist m II
Spring MOSES on its steep roof grow,
Where broad their shade the willows throw.
The pond near by is clear and deep,
And round its brink the alders sweep,
The lily pads spread gray and green,
The lilies white and gold between,
While grinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-wheel turns round and round.
Among the reeds the muskrat dives.
And swift "the swallow homeward hies."
The robin sings in cedars near
Where Willow Brook runs swift and clear.
The children by the schoOi-house play,
Where slumberous shadows softly sway,
And warm and low the summer breeze
Is whispering thrc' the willow leaves.
While grinds the mill, with rumbling sound,
The water-wheel turns round and round
The crows now wing their southwark way,
The squirrels in the nut-trees play;
With merry shouts the school-boys run;
The mountains blush meath autumn's sun;
Their grain they bring adown the hill,
The farmers, to the old grist mill;
And faint, from far O. er hill and dale,
Falls on the ear the thrashers fail
While Erinds the mill with rumbling sound,
The water-wheel turns round and round.
Long years have come and past away;
The mill with age is gaunt and gray.
The roof gaps wide to rain and sun;
With cobwebs thick the walls are hung.
The pond is overgrown with weeds;
The marsh wren builds among the reeds.
The night winds thro' the willows moan
The schoolhouse gone, the children grown
The farmers sleep where wild flowers grow,
Who brought their grain so long ago,
When ground the mill with rumbling sound,
And the water-wheel turned round and round.
Mrs. S. e. CGldIceiJ, in Grdphtc NSsse.
